Where the hell is a Wii RTS?

Seriously! Why are there ZERO traditional RTS games on the wii? You couldn't find a better control set-up than the wiimote/nunchuck. What the hell is wrong with third parties?

Ask Nintendo to localise Tact of Magic, i want it badly

or you can try Defendin' De Penguin

What do you mean by traditional RTS? Star Craft or Command and Conquer? There are at least two worth buying right now. Little king story, and Pikmin (sure a GC game, but still fun). Of course that probably isn't 'traditional' though...raahsnavj

Yes, like starcraft or CandC. I liked pikmin and LKS, but they're not quite the same.

you should try Dawn of discovery. Very "kiddie" looking but it isnt as easy as it seems. very good RTS for the wii.

Closest thing out is Pikmin and Overlord....

Swords and Soldiers.

Never heard of Dawn of Discovery, huh?

That's ok, lots of people haven't.

[QUOTE="thedude-"][QUOTE="locopatho"] That's more of a city builder though. There's no real action based RTS games. It's a real shame.bob_newman

[QUOTE="psychobrew"] Have you ever played a real PC RTS?bob_newman

[QUOTE="bob_newman"][QUOTE="thedude-"] But that is the Nintendo fan defense. Whenever someone mentions an appearant genre gap in Nintendo's lineup, fans will mention examples that do not match up at all. Like whenever someone asks wheres the AAA FPS on Wii, you always see people mentioning Metroid Prime 3. psychobrew

[QUOTE="psychobrew"][QUOTE="bob_newman"] Umm...have either of you played the game? While not a pure RTS, there is indeed fighting of troops. It's no Civ, but that doesn't mean it's not classified as an RTS.DeeDeeDee-er

When did I say The Conduit was the best Wii game? I like it. I think it's fun. But I never said it's the best game on the Wii (unless I was being sarcastic or trying to get under someone's skin that thought it was a terrible game). I really don't have a favorite game. But I do know that there are very little strategy elements in LKS. Opposing kingdoms never initiate attacks. You are limited to the size you can build your army. The game holds your hand throughout. The controls are clunky. You have no say as to where you put your buildings and you can never advance them. It's a story, and stories follow a script. There's really no strategy in a game that follows a script.

For the record, I do think LKS was a quality production, but it's just not a strategy game (or an RPG).

[QUOTE="DeeDeeDee-er"][QUOTE="psychobrew"] I have Dawn of Discovery. The main focus of the game is city building, not building armies and taking over the world like many of us would like to do. To me, Dawn of Discovery doesn't cut it and LKS isn't even a strategy game. The fighting mechanics in Dawn of Discover are poor at best. Have you ever played a real PC RTS?psychobrew

[QUOTE="DeeDeeDee-er"] Shhhhhhhhh. You think The Conduit is the best Wii game. And Little King's Story IS a strategy game if you manage to play it for more than a couple hours... I'd keep your opinions to yourself. IppoTenma

I don't think the demographic for a Wii RTS game is there. It would be safer just for developers to make them for PC's. Personally, I would buy Starcraft/Starcraft 2 for the Wii if they were available.

I think it is more of the perception of the market than the actual market themselves. There are more than enough hardcore Wii gamers who will probably get anything good. Unfortunately, good can be hard to find.HOMIE_G64

See, there's the problem. Most "hardcore" Wii owners ignore the fact that there are dozens of "good" games. Obviously they're not going to look as good as games on other consoles, but that doesn't mean they're not good games.

What's your definition of "good"? Is it "AAA games"? Because if it is, anyone with any sense knows that reviews are a load of crap.

Just because a game gets AAA does not automatically mean that you're going to like it, and the same could be said on the other side of the argument. Just because a game gets a 7.5 or whatever, that doesn't mean you won't enjoy it, and it certainly doesn't make it a bad game.

There are plenty of "good" games on the Wii...maybe you're not being open-minded enough about it?

Where's Advance Wars Wii?

As mentioned by others in this thread, those are all great games. But I meant a traditional RTS like starcraft or warcraft.
